Out of the mine and the darkness,Out of the damp and the mold,Out from the fiery furnace,Cometh each grain of gold.Crushed into atoms and leveledDown to the humblest dustWith never a heart to pity,With never a hand to trust.

Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah

The Crucible – Anonymous Molten and hammered and beaten,Seemeth it ne'er to be done.Oh! for such fiery trial,What hath the poor gold done?Oh! 'twere a mercy to leave itDown in the damp and the mold.If this is the glory of living,Then better to be dross thangold.

Under the press and the roller,Into the jaws of the mint,Stamped with the emblem of freedomWith never a flaw or a dent.Oh! what a joy the refiningOut of the damp and the mold!And stamped with theglorious image,Oh, beautiful coin of gold!
